Wow. Just one more day to go in this series. God has showed up so many times in so many ways. Sometimes he answers even dumb prayers, just because he can. A few months ago I was waiting on an a sweet older couple at the restaurant, and out of nowhere a thought popped into…

40:40 Day 38
God’s provision doesn’t always look miraculous. Sometimes he lets us know he’s there with us in the work-week monotony, in busyness and routine, especially when we ask. Just because it’s an ordinary day doesn’t mean he’s not awesome and powerful and willing to work in our lives. Cut to Thursday. I don’t mind food running…
40:40 Day 37
Danielle and I became friends while arguing on Facebook. A guy friend we had in common had put up a post about God, and Danielle, being a science-minded college student, was pushing back against each faith- based comment. She and I got into it, respectfully, and we went in circles. Finally, I just said, “Hey,…
40:40 Day 36
My friend Alicia has the gifts of prayer and contagious laughter. Both equally important. I knew she would set an alarm for some weird time, like 5:37 a.m., each morning and she would pray for Cyprus or whatever God was laying on her heart, and then go back to sleep. I really admired her dedication…

I’m telling you, I think God really shows up in my life in regards to car repair. When I was living on my own my bills were overwhelming, so when the mechanic told me I needed an eighty dollar brake change, I cringed. It wasn’t necessary to pass inspection, but it was necessary none the…

Sometimes it’s the little things that let us know God is always there, always providing. As you might know, my one and a half year old kitty Bentley has issues because he was hit by a car as a tiny kitten. We do squirty medicine every morning and night with a syringe. His newest bottle…

Miles’ visa took eight months to get approved , and it just happened to be approved one day before the list was released.One day. Many families had been waiting for months for Dictator, I mean, President Joseph Kabila of the DRC to reopen the adoption gates. Chris and Julie knew it was God that had…
40:40 Day 32
Alison is the most animated, joyful, crazy (in a good way) woman I’ve ever known. She IS the party, and for her the party is all about Jesus. She’d been serving as a missionary in North Africa for three years when she met Brian at a wedding back stateside, and a slooooow romance began to…
40:40 Day 31
God knows I need help when something goes wrong with my car. I had just finished a great lunch catching up with my friend Tiffany. As I was sliding into my car,the older gentleman in the truck parked next to mine called out,”Excuse me, Miss! Did you know that you have a flat tire?” I…

Pramana had been born into a people group with a population of twenty-four million. In his people group, there were only three known followers of Jesus, and no church. The only religion that he had ever practiced or known while growing up had been a sort of folk Islam. Pramana knew the Quran by rote….
